There are emotions we bury, fragments of the self we conceal and memories that settle in the crevices of our being. In What’s Under My Skin?, Khushi Khandelwal brings those unspoken inner layers to light, examining the intimate terrain where anxiety, memory, and identity collide. Her debut solo exhibition, is a quiet confrontation with the invisible, each artwork a tactile echo of emotional states we rarely name.
Khushi’s collection captures psychological exposure with remarkable sensitivity. Working in a unique blend of realism and abstraction, she gives material form to what is often dismissed or hidden, personal unrest, emotional thresholds, and the fragility that defines the human condition. The artworks invite close attention, not with spectacle, but through their subtlety, where torn edges, stitched textures and layered surfaces evoke the feeling of being stitched together emotionally, piece by piece. Every canvas holds its own quiet storm. The artist’s use of mixed media is deliberate and precise, offering viewers a chance to see vulnerability as strength.
Rather than overt narratives, Artist constructs atmospheric works that engage the senses and stir reflection. Since opening, the exhibition has seen a steady stream of visitors, students, collectors, art enthusiasts — all drawn to the thoughtful quietude of Khushi’s world. Many spend considerable time before the pieces, engaging with the layers and intimate codes hidden within them. For those moved by her visual language, original works and curated prints are available for acquisition. Khushi herself stands amidst the viewing public, absorbing their responses with humility and grace.
The connection between artist and viewer grows organically, shaped by shared recognition of pain, resilience, and hope. In What’s Under My Skin?, offers a body of work. This exhibition marks the beginning of a compelling artistic journey rooted in truth, material honesty, and emotional depth. For viewers and collectors alike, it presents the quiet power of expressing it outward through art.
